Thats not so good nows. I use these caps with my 6MOT supply for
aproximately 30 Minutes in intermitted short runs with no problems. Of
course this is 12 and not 15KV but that will probably not change much.

Since your only running 12KV rms and 3 x 12= 36, your 35 KV rated cap is 
close enough that your probably going to be OK with it.
